| intergrated for rock and dance and blues Best way to hear rock is with a muscle solid state amp like the BVaudio A300S. I am a dealer and can get you a demo unit for under $1500. | |
| What Pre amp to use Look for a used BVaudio P1, an excellent choice. Also you made no mention of power conditioning- very important! | |
| Balanced power line conditioners use with CJ We have used both with a wide variety of ss and tube amps, just not the ones you mentioned. We prefer to sell the BPT. | |
| Please help with choosing speakers I have a large room and 6 ft tall speakers in a sub/sat set up. The sound is awesome, but I don't like the way the towers cut up my living space. As good as 3.6s are, they suffer from the same issue that all "full range" speakers suffer, which is ... | |
| To DAC or not to DAC Perhaps yes, perhaps no. You see when you separate transport and dac you introduce "jitter". You also introduce a number of other issues, like; power cords, additional shelving, proper isolation, cabling. Any one of these can take an otherwise gre... | |
| Pioneer PD65 needs a DAC I am using a Musical Concepts Epoch V moded PD65. If the soundstage was deeper, I would not even consider a DAC. The Stello 220DAC (upsamples to 192?) just got an excellent review in Soundstage emag. MSRP is a mere $1195. I am waiting for the next... | |
| Which amp for B&W 703s I spent some time evaluating the 703s, and left unconvinced. Check out the reviews for the Usher new 6 series. Great review at AV Monthly | |
| Xindak SCD-2 Mods I may be able to help with getting SCD-2s moded. COntact me next month, the guy is on a long vacation. | |
| Xindac SACD 2 recomend a DAC I have owned the SCD-2 for over a year. I found the stock SACD playback to be excellent in my system, which is over $30K, including Nearfield 924 loudspeakers, which are highly revealing. About 6 months ago I had it moded. This improved both SACD ... | |
| Pre/Amplification for Amati Homage I agree with FrankG. Many times this can be from placing speakers too close to back AND side walls. If you don't have You might look into Stillpoints with Risers under speakers, and components. Available at Audio Tweakers | |
| Please recommend SACD player under $6K - "warm" I am using a Xindak SCD-2 with NOS tubes and a special mod. Contact me if you are interested. | |
| What is the right cable for B & W 802's? Eichmann eXpress Series 2, model 4 would be a really good recommendation- model 6 even better. Awesome value!!!!!! I do think you will need something like Walker Audio HDLs to compensate for the RFI/EMF you are likely to have as a result of such l... | |
| Tube-pre and interconnect match for Krell FPB-300 Most tune preamps do not have the bandwidth of an SS amp, they act like a restricter plate. Get a truly balanced preamp like a BVaudio, or PS Audio PCA-2 (I own both), maybe a tube CD player, like the Xindak SCD-2. | |
| Vote for the Best Preamp: Audion, Jadis, ARC or CJ Most tube preamps will not match the bandwidth of the Krell. Tube pres primarily gained popularity because of CD 101. Those days are long gone. Get a SS pre (BVaudio, PS Audio) and a tube CD player, like the Xindak SCD-2. Your Krell will then be a... | |
| Best way to spend my income tax refund It's time to upgrade your CD-1. Check out Xindak SCD-2 |
